Reminding Prime Minister Narendra Modi of his tall promises of providing corruption free system and good governance with a regular scrutiny of the assets of its ministers and MLAs, the JKNPP on Tuesday questioned the action taken, if any, against the delinquent corrupt leaders of BJP in the State.
Addressing the media persons, Rajesh Padgotra, Provincial President of the party said that dozens of complaints filed regarding the highly unethical and corrupt conduct of BJP MLA from Ramnagar R.S Pathania had been dis-regarded and put in cold storage, despite clinching evidence, by the government and the investigating agencies only for the reason that he was a ruling party MLA.
Questioning the overnight rise of Pathania from rags to riches, Padgotra said that during elections the said BJP leader made repeated statements in public that he and his family had barely Rs. 15,000 as cash and bank balance.
He further revealed that State land measuring 22 Kanals and 15 Marlas was found to be in illegal possession of Pathania and his family in Kail Majalta as per the reply obtained through RTI.
Gagan Partap Singh State Secretary and Shankar Dass, Provincial Secretary of JKNPP said that the JKNPP had video tapes of the persons who had been cheated by the said BJP MLA in the name of employment and government jobs.
Khajoor Singh Joint Secretary JKNPP and Pardeep Sharma Senior leader Panthers Party were also present in the press conference.
